SUPERVISOR’S CORNER
As many of you are aware, we are relocating our township library to the current meeting room in the Plaza. We have an anticipated delivery date for the children’s shelves of mid-November. We plan to start the move on December 1. We welcome anyone who would like to assist in packing and unpacking the existing books from the shelves as we relocate them and then replace them on the relocated shelves in their new location. If you are interested in donating some time in the first two weeks of December, please contact us and leave your name, contact info(phone number or email) and availability during these two weeks. We will contact you if we need you at least a week before the move.
I would like to that the Friends of the Library for all their work on the Fall Tea they had on October 16. It was very well attended, and all had a wonderful time at the event. If you are interested in joining our Friends of the Library(FOL) contact Cheryl at the library for information and contacts. They are very active and provide many programs for our children in the community throughout the year. Any support you may want to provide is always appreciated.
As always during this time of year, be careful driving. Deer/car incidents are more prevalent during these months as more people are in the woods and disrupting their natural movements. In addition, the holidays make for a more stressful time with all the festivities and events and usually no time to just unwind. So take a breath and relax for five minutes and enjoy the beautiful colors and scenery that only our area of the state can provide. Take a ride up to the westgate overlook on M65 just past the Bear Store 6 miles north of the light. You won’t regret it, the view is great. And if you’re that far north stop up at Iargo Springs and Lumbermans Monument which is just a few miles further north. Again, great relaxation views and a chance to catch your breath before the big holiday push.
As I have said before thank all of you who have taken advantage of the house number signs that we have available for free to our residents. Many of you have stopped by over the past month and picked up a sign for your yard. These greatly enhance the ability of our emergency medical responders to locate you when help is needed. If you do not have a green and white house number sign in your yard or driveway or stopped in recently for one and found that we were out, please stop in and see Pat or me as we have received another shipment. Many houses do not have mailboxes with numbers as you don’t live up here or use a PO box, so these signs become crucial. It also helps the package delivery companies find you.
If you are interested in helping to keep our downtown decorated, please contact Hale Garden Club , PO Box 174, Hale, MI 48739 or call Bev Mason at 989-305-8823. They are always looking for volunteers or if you just want to contribute, a donation is always appreciated. Wanting to find a way to get and stay in shape, consider membership at the Community Center and Eagle Point Plaza. You can come and enjoy pickleball at any time, yoga, cardio drumming, fitness training, walking or some more intense TOWANDA. So stop in and see Roma about a membership. We have family rates and business/group rates also. We would love to see you. When you’re here stop in on Tuesdays to the Plainfield Township Historical Museum. They also have genealogical workshops, so stop and ask about the next event. As always if you ever have any questions, comments or concerns regarding our community please contact me. I am in the office Monday – Friday 7:30 – 4:00 at 989-728-2811 or my cell at 989-984-7073 or by email supervisor@plainfieldtwpmi.com.
